This is only a display issue, because the new lines are not included in the email when you send it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure to use a windows .txt file 2. Start composing a new email 3. Note the new line in the signature Actual Results: New lines are inserted instead of spaces Expected Results: The signature file should be displayed the same as in the .txt file

I am not able to reproduce this broblem on WinXP with build a recent debug build! Oliver, have you tried a more recent build?

Hi Jean, I can confirm it solved. I created a new profile and created a new signature file and not it work. The same procedure does reproduce the bug when I use my production profile, so there is something wrong with my production profile. :-( I tested used BuildID: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021120

Do you know maybe where the problem can be in a profile? Thanks

can you open with a text editor your prefs.js file (in the profile folder which has the trouble) and check if you have the following line: user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true); Let me know. Thanks

Hi Jean, no, I don't have that line in my profile's pref.js Thanks

Found the problem! If you use this line: user_pref("mailnews.wraplength", 0); then you see the problem in the signature. I could reproduce this bug using that line in my pref.js Thanks for the help. I don't know if this is a bug anymore or if I should not use that line at all.

Thanks for the finding. As this bug doesn't seem too bad, I'll look at it later...

I noticed this bug occurs when "Compose messages in HTML format" is checked, but not when it's unchecked.

(Oh, I set All/All since I'm using FizzillaMach/2003032013.)

xref bug 261467.
